Sergeant: Imagine your loved ones conquered by Napoleon and forced to live under French rule. Do you want them to eat that rich food and those heavy sauces? Soldiers: No...! Sergeant: Do you want them to have soufflé every meal and croissant?

Very impressive how the narrative changed in 4 days from the trump/musk feud. Probably going to be infrastructure week next week.

Not to dismiss (I agree with the premise) but is that a legit source?

Alternative take, this is all staged to keep you entertained while other stuff are going on.

Even the whole Elon leaving, then feuding live on twitter is so closed to wrestling and people are so entertained (me included tbh) rather than questioning or fighting.

I stumbled upon that new use of mp4 format. Interesting.

To calculate the inflation rate, hundreds of government workers called enumerators fan out across cities each month to check how much businesses are charging for products such as blue jeans and services such as accounting, often by visiting bricks-and-mortar stores. Statisticians roll those figures together into the consumer-price index, a data stream that shows how the cost of living is changing for typical Americans.

If the government’s enumerators can’t track down a specific price in a given city, they try to make an educated guess based on a close substitute: say, cargo pants instead of slacks. But in April, with fewer workers on hand to check prices, statisticians had to base their guesses on less comparable products or other regions of the country—a process called different-cell imputation—much more often than usual, according to the BLS
